Eating Raw Oysters

• 1). Open the oyster's shell by inserting the tip of an oyster knife between the shell close to the hinge. Push the knife into the shell and twist to release the shells.
  
  
• 2). Detach the oyster from the shell using a shellfish fork. Ensure that the oyster is detached by moving it around slightly in its shell.
  
  
• 3). Hold the shell with your thumb and index finger with the oyster pointing upwards. Ensure that the thinnest edge of the shell is facing outward to make it easier to slurp the oyster.
  
  
• 4). Raise the shell to your lips, tilt your head back and slurp the oyster and the juice into your throat. Chew briefly and swallow.
